Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
Ros Smith, JISC
Joint Information Systems Committee Supporting education and research
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 2
A guide to designing spaces for effective learning
Launched at JISC Conference March 2006
Focuses on the role and impact of technology on physical learning space design in FE and HE
Builds on the JISC eSpaces Study, University of Birmingham (2005) www.ldu.bham.ac.uk/espaces
Copies distributed UK-wide to Vice Chancellors, Directors of Estates, of Library and Information Services & Media Services, and Heads of e-learning and of Academic Practice
Also available from [email protected]

Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
Takes readers on a ‘walkthrough’ featuring different types of space
Examines the role for technology in each space
Brings issues relating to estates management, space utilisation, pedagogy and technology into one forum
Identifies some core principles for effective practice
Provides case studies of refurbished and new-build projects demonstrating vision and innovation in embedding technology into learning spaces
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 4
Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
Identifies what is innovative and emergent, and..
Provides architects’ floor plans for three types of space based on current thinking: general teaching, vocational and learning centres
Explores the relationship between redesigned, technology-rich spaces and learning potential
Concludes with a checklist of key points for senior managers
“Spaces are themselves agents for change. Changed spaces will change practice.”

Key messages from Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
“Understanding what makes an effective design is important. The best are likely to assist all within the institution to work more productively and to produce learners who are confident, adaptable, and inspired to learn.”
Designing Spaces for Effective Learning, JISC 2006
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 6
Key messages from Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
There can be no one blueprint for the design of
learning and teaching spaces but“What is important is that designs of physical
spaces are linked to the institution’s strategic vision for teaching and learning and that this is articulated in every detail of the design, and shared with all stakeholders, including learners.” Designing Spaces for Effective Learning, JISC 2006
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 7
Key messages from Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
Learning needs to be
Pervasive
Flexible
Active
Social
Inclusive
And continuous

Key messages from Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
“Embedding technology into learning and teaching spaces is likely to be an evolutionary process rather than a revolutionary one.”
“Start by establishing your pedagogic aims, then review the design and the technological infrastructure in the whole institution.”
“To resolve what is the best way forward, effective dialogues are needed to establish what will be required from the spaces, what changes in pedagogic approach are desirable and why.” Designing Spaces for Effective Learning, JISC 2006
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 10
Key messages from the case studies
Current designs show…
Increasing support for social, collaborative and blended models of learning
More embedded use of audio-visual technologies
Increasing hybridisation of spaces
Flexibility in design, fittings and furniture to ensure sustainability
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 11
Key messages from Designing Spaces for Effective Learning
In the future, we can expect to see…
Spaces designed to provide simultaneous support for f2f and virtual learning
Spaces developed to support innovative, experiential learning in f2f contexts
A higher profile given to social areas supporting problem-solving and collaborative learning based around mobile and wireless and audio visual technologies
Greater emphasis on developing learners’ wider skills, especially creativity and adaptability

Final words
“The design of our learning spaces should become a physical representation of the institution’s vision and strategy for learning – responsive, inclusive, and supportive of attainment by all.”
Designing Spaces for Effective Learning, JISC, 2006
Joint Information Systems Committee 04/10/23 | | Slide 13
Final words
“Review space management procedures to ensure effective reporting and decision-making structure. A cross-institutional management group comprising directors of finance, estates and student support services, academic heads and a senior member of IT Services will be needed.”
